Rwandan designer Matthew "Tayo" Rugamba aka (@Mr_rugamba), tailors his collections for an African audience.

Design Indaba team caught up with @Mr_rugamba, in his studio @HouseOfTayo, in Kigali Rwanda for this https://t.co/HfardGa2Bp, video series. This video series showcases the untold stories of various African designers, discovered by our team during their expedition across the continent.

@HouseOfTayo draws from innate African sophistication and local craftsmanship to create a line of clothing and accessories with contemporary appeal.

Here, the brand’s founder and creative director Matthew 'Tayo' Rugamba discusses how telling African stories through his designs helps him create collections with cultural significance.

@Mr_rugamba compares fashion to music as an accessible medium for expressing local heritage and culture. With no training in fashion design, the young Rwandan entrepreneur with an eye for style started marketing his brand on social media platforms before he even released his products.

When he launched his first collection, he already had a loyal following and customer base.

His collection started out with a range of eclectic bow ties and expanded to include scarves, ties, shirts and suits.

@Mr_rugamba identifies @HouseOfTayo as a distinctly African brand and by that he means his designs are “made for people who live on the continent.” He highlights the fact that his clothing is constructed to suit African climates and body types.

They say "don't meet your heroes". Well, that doesnt apply to Charles Onyango-Obbo. Not AT ALL!
It was a huge pleasure to sit down for two hours with one of the titans of African journalism on @TheLongFormRw Podcast and discuss his story, his journalism and his predictions on Uganda's future post-M7. Take a listen!
Oh, and make sure you subscribe to his weekly podcast, 'The Bad Natives Podcast' (@Bad_Natives_Pod). Its an amazing platform that brings together some of the best minds in Africa @RKabushenga, @Adesuwa_G, @ferialhaffajee and @cobbo3
